Pholidosis differences between E. lineomaculatus and E. coronella/coronelloides:
E. lineomaculatus: 17 dorsal scale rows at midbody, 1 Postocular, no Loreal scale.
E. coronella/coronelloides: 15 dorsal scale rows, 2 Postoculars, 1 Loreal scale.
Difference between E. coronella and E. coronelloides:
E. coronella has a visible much longer tail than coronelloides, E. coronelloides has a black crown on head, mostly visible also in adult specimens, so your Einenis should be E. coronella, as far as possible to see at the pictures.

OK! The 2 postoculars are clear in the photos, and about the black crown on head in coronelloides:
